There was a Security update for Adobe Flash Player on 5/22/17 and also a Security update for Microsoft Windows (KB401687).

Since then when I run the Test Adobe Flash player, it indicates that it is disabled. I've followed the instructions for MS Edge to verify the Advanced settings

and ensured that the switch is ON to enable Adobe Flash Player but it still indicates that it is DISABLED.

Also as a result, when I go to any website to play a video, like within weather.com. it comes back that Weather.com is not responding. like it just times out waiting for the flash player.

Any suggestions on what to do. I've searched the Adobe site for clues, I've tried to reload Adobe flash player. Should I uninstall the last two updates from 5/22/17???

I have the same problem and it just started today trying to watch MLB.Com. Adobe's troubleshooting advice is useless. I've always felt that Adobe software causes more problems than benefits. Adobe Support is non-existent.

Just in case someone from Adobe is actually monitoring this conversation, let me provide a few facts:

-I'm on the latest version of Windows 10 which was updated last week and the latest version of Edge updated at the same time

-I have been using my HP Desktop to watch Yankee games om MLB.com for years and never had a problem until today

-I suspect an update to Flash was done recently, possibly in the last day or 2, and is the cause of this problem

Therefore, I'd like to know when Adobe plans to fix the problem or when they plan to refund the cost of my MLB subscription which is apparently useless now. Some indication that someone at Adobe actually cares about this issue would be helpful.
